Born in Park City, Utah to William and Gertrude (Knudsen) Doidge. He had one older brother William Doidge (Deceased) and younger brother John R. Doidge in Pueblo, Colorado.
He graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor’s degree in business. His first job was with Prudential Federal. He then started and was President of Pioneer Savings & Loan. Bob was a highly active member of the Sugar House Rotary Club. He was President of the Sugar House Park Commission for many years.
Survived by his wife of 62 years Bobbie M. Doidge, two children William Doidge (Briget) and Diane Doidge Wood, and three grandchildren Heather Olson, Paul Wood and Ryan Doidge. Bob was a respected businessman in the community, a loyal friend, and loved by friends and family alike. He will be greatly missed. A private graveside service for family will be held at Mount Olivet Cemetery on Monday December 21 at 1:00 pm.
What a great man and a good friend! Both members of the Rotary Club of Sugar House which brought a lasting friendship. Bernie and Wayne knew he and Bobbi well. Many discussions on life and later.
Our greatest and sincere condolences.
Bob was a supportive older brother, an inspirational role model, and a trusted friend throughout my life. I will miss him forever. Thank you Bobbie for the devoted and impeccable care you have given him. You have been wonderful.
I just saw the notice about the passing of Bob. Just yesterday as I drove by the house, I mentally waved, knowing the darned virus prevented me from stopping and knocking on the door to say Hi. My deepest sympathies -- I so enjoyed getting to know Bob at Dance Club -- a dear man from whom I never heard one word of complaint as his physical challenges kept him from the receiving line. And deepest condolences to Bobbie.
